82 17575105 We showed that ubiquitin promoter-driven expression of CCL21 enabled massive infiltration of tumors with CD4(+)CD25(-), CD8(+) T lymphocytes, and CD11c(+) dendritic cells, and consequent activation of cellular and humoral immune responses sufficient for complete rejection of CCL21-positive melanomas within 3 weeks in all tumor-inoculated mice.
83 17575105 Here, using B16F0 melanoma cells stably expressing CCL21 under the control of cytomegalovirus and ubiquitin promoters, we showed that CCL21-activated immune responses depend on the amount of melanoma-derived chemokine, which, in turn, depends on the strength of the promoter.

116 20504922 Further analysis revealed that the nsp2 OTU domain possesses ubiquitin-deconjugating activity.
117 20504922 This domain has the ability to inhibit NF-kappaB activation by interfering with the polyubiquitination process of IkappaBalpha, which subsequently prevents IkappaBalpha degradation.

125 22057675 The ubiquitin-like protein, ISG15, is a novel tumor-associated antigen for cancer immunotherapy.
126 22057675 ISG15 is a small ubiquitin-like protein regulated by type-I interferon and classically associated with viral defense.
127 22057675 Elevated ISG15 expression in breast cancer is especially well documented and is independent of HER2, progesterone receptor, and estrogen receptor status.
128 22057675 We demonstrate that vaccination against ISG15 results in significant CD8-mediated reductions in both primary and metastatic mammary tumor burden.
129 22441015 Autophagy inhibition in hypoxic cells decreases phospho-STAT3 and restores CTL-mediated tumor cell killing by a mechanism involving the ubiquitin proteasome system and SQSTM1/p62.
130 22761378 Depending on the source of antigen and the infectious agent, priming of CD8(+) T cells requires direct and/or cross-presentation of antigenic peptides on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules by professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs).
131 22761378 The long-lived nucleoprotein (NP) of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) can be targeted for degradation by N-terminal fusion to ubiquitin or, as we show here, to the ubiquitin-like modifier FAT10.
132 22802414 Antiangiogenic tumor therapy by DNA vaccine inducing aquaporin-1-specific CTL based on ubiquitin-proteasome system in mice.
133 22802414 Given that in APC ubiquitinated peptides are effectively introduced into proteasomes from which CD8 epitopes are excised, we fused ubiquitin with AQP-1 (pUB-AQP-1) to produce a DNA vaccine.
134 22802414 The antitumor effect of the pUB-AQP-1 DNA vaccine was largely mediated by CD8 T cells, which secrete IFN-γ, perforin, and granzyme-B in the presence of APCs transfected with pUB-AQP-1.

138 23049728 Here we show that fusion of the extracellular domain of the ASFV Hemagglutinin (sHA) to p54 and p30, two immunodominant structural viral antigens, exponentially improved both the humoral and the cellular responses induced in pigs after DNA immunization.
139 23049728 Due to the fact that CD8(+) T-cell responses are emerging as key components for ASFV protection, we designed a new plasmid construct, pCMV-UbsHAPQ, encoding the three viral determinants above mentioned (sHA, p54 and p30) fused to ubiquitin, aiming to improve Class I antigen presentation and to enhance the CTL responses induced.
140 23401522 PLP2 binds ubiquitin using a zinc finger that is uniquely integrated into an exceptionally compact OTU-domain fold that represents a new subclass of zinc-dependent OTU DUBs.
141 23762309 Cbl proteins are E3 ubiquitin ligases and have been implicated in regulating the functional activity of various immune cells.
142 23762309 Upon TLR-stimulation, cblb-/- BMDCs produce higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1α, IL-6 and TNF-α) and exhibit a slightly higher level of FITC-dextran uptake.
143 23762309 To further characterize the functional significance of cblb-/- BMDCs we tested them in antigen-specific T cell responses against ovalbumin (OVA) protein and peptides, activating either CD8(+) OT-I or CD4(+) OT-II transgenic T cells.
144 23762309 We conclude that in contrast to c-Cbl, Cbl-b plays only a limited role in the induction of Ag-specific T cell responses by murine BMDCs in vitro and in vivo.
145 24505475 To develop an improved T cell vaccine for HIV we investigated whether fusing the ubiquitin gene to the N terminus of the HIV gag gene enhanced targeting to the proteasome resulting in better CD8 T cell responses.
146 24505475 Despite targeting of the ubiquitin gag transgene protein to the proteasome, ubiquitination did not increase CD8 T cell immune responses and in some cases diminished responses to gag peptides.

149 24512893 Furthermore, viral DUBs can also remove the protective effect of conjugated ubiquitin-like molecules such as interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15).
150 24587462 Deletion of ubiquitin fold modifier protein Ufm1 processing peptidase Ufsp in L. donovani abolishes Ufm1 processing and alters pathogenesis.
151 24587462 Biochemical analysis of L. donovani Ufsp showed that this protein possesses the Ufm1 processing activity using sensitive FRET based activity probes.
152 24587462 The Ufm1 cleavage activity was absent in a mutant Ufsp in which the active site cysteine is altered to a serine.
153 24587462 To examine the effects of abolition of Ufm1 processing activity, we generated a L. donovani null mutant of Ufsp (LdUfsp(-/-)).
154 24936129 Specifically, three different expression protocols were compared, differing in their genetic constructs, ie, a simple native histidine-tagged VP6 sequence, VP6 fused to thioredoxin, and VP6 obtained with the newly described small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) fusion system.

156 25554382 Although the primary function of PLpro and 3CLpro are to process the viral polyprotein in a coordinated manner, PLpro has the additional function of stripping ubiquitin and ISG15 from host-cell proteins to aid coronaviruses in their evasion of the host innate immune responses.
